AWNING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 501,932, dated July 25,1893. Application filed April 7, 1893- Serial No. 469,424- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES GLAWE, of Dayton, county of Montgomery,State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Awnings;and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference markedthereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in awnings; theimprovements are specifically confined to the supporting frame of thewings or side curtains.

The object of the invention is to construct a wing support forgear-winding awnings that will fold neatly and properly with the roof asthe latter is wound up. To this end my improvements consist of a foldingwing that regulates itself with the rest of the awning. The-wing canvasis separate from the main body of the awning so that they are operatedindependently of each other.

The simplicity of the device and its manifest usefulness speak forthemselves to those familiar with the art to which it appertains.

The drawings herewith accompanying and forming a supplement to thespecification illustrate my invention; the same reference charactersthereon refer to the same parts in the several views in which- Figure 1,is a perspective view of an awning, partly broken away to reveal thecharacteristics of my invention; Fig. 2, a side elevation showing thewing partly closed or elevated-the canvas removed; Fig. 3, a similarview showing the wing closed.

The letter A represents the roof awning supported on a frame of wellknown construction and adapted to be wound upon the circular rod a, bythe crank b, operating upon gearing between said crank, vertical rod 0,

and rod a, all of which are well known fea-,

tures, and are shown for the purpose of illustrating my improvementonly.

' d represents the upper folding rod of suitable diameter, pivoted to abracket 6, secured at a convenient point on the side of the door orwindow.

f indicates the lower or second folding rod which together with rod (1,has a pivotal connection with the sliding lever g, as at h; the lowerend of rod f is pivoted to a sliding 1ever t', which is pivoted to thehorizontal drop rod m, of the roof by a toggle joint n.

o and 0' represent brackets secured vertically to the side of thebuilding adjacent to the window, onv which sliding sleeves p and p areplaced; to these sliding-sleeves, the levers g and '5 are pivoted. Pins(1 q are placed in the brackets beneath the sleeves p and p, when thewing is lowered, as seen in Fig. 1, to maintain the slide levers iandgin operative position. To hoist the wing, these pins are removed andsaid levers thereby permitted to take the vertical position shown inFig. 3. The wing D is provided with a flap D that projects laterallybeneath the roof awning so as to close the opening that would otherwiseappear. These flaps are maintained in a supporting position by plates qg, which are rigidly attached to folding rods (1 and f. The operation ofthe device is manifest. When the roof awning is hoisted by turning thecrank b, the rods oZ-and f bend at the joint h; by removing thepins q q,the sliding levers are permitted to slide down the brackets to theposition seen in Fig. 3, which shows the wing closed.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is

1. In an awning, the combination with the roof and its supporting frame,of a folding wing adapted to inclose the ends of said roof, providedwith laterally and inwardly projecting flaps D, the folding rods cl andf with the laterally projecting plates q q fixed thereto, upon which theflaps D are supported, the sliding levers g and i pivoted to saidfolding rods, and the vertical brackets o and 0, substantially asdescribed.

2. In an awning, the herein described wing 5 consisting of the foldingrod (1 pivoted to the bracket (2, and the folding rod f which togetherwith folding rod 01 have pivotal connection with sliding levers g and i,the latter the wing is lowered, substantially as herein IO described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set lever having a pivotalconnection with fold my hand this 29th day of March, 1893.

5 in rod f and both lever i and rod f pivoted 1 to the hbrizontal droprod m, the vertical r c. i CHAS GLAWL' brackets 0 and 0 with the pins qq, the Witnesses: sleeves p and p slidingly mounted on said brackets andsecured by the pins q q when WILLIAM H. YOUNG, R. JAY MCCORTY.
